CENTRE COUNTY, Pa.– Update: Four people, including the gunman, are dead after a shooting at P.J. Harrigan’s Bar & Grill in State College Thursday night, officials said at a news conference Friday.

The victims have been identified as 19-year-old Steven Beachy, 61-year-old Dean Beachy and 83-year-old George McCormick.

Nicole Abrino, 21, and Steven and Dean Beachy were all shot at the bar. Dean died at the scene while Steven succumbed to injuries at the hospital, officials say. Abrino was transported to the hospital. There’s no word on her condition.

The gunman, 21-year-old Jordan Witmer, fled the scene in a vehicle and crashed it. He then broke into a nearby home where he shot and killed McCormick, according to officials. Witmer then killed himself.
